Anyone for hot chocolate?

I have made this card either for Christmas or for a friend's birthday in December ... so no sentiment yet.
I used the sketch from Passion for Promarkers, the colour combo from Whiff of Joy and Everybody-Art-Challenge distressing.
Henry is coloured in using my promarkers and then he was distressed using weathered wood and antique cream. The papers are distressed and lightly inked, and then I heat embossed the edges to add a sheen. Rather than adding flowers (it will be for a bloke) I stamped swirls in antique linen and embossed them. Finally I added an orange ribbon.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): WoJ Henry with hot chocolate; TAC scroll
Colouring Media: promarkers
Papers: MME Wild Asparagus
Embellishments: ribbon from stash

What a great card - I love Henry and your coloring is super. I love the embossed swirls - great way to give it that added something without using flowers. Now I just need to remember your idea when it's time for me to make a guy card. :)
